Title: Visualizations in V4?
Post by: jacktucky on April 15, 2008, 05:33:11 PM
Is there info on how to do visualizations in V4?  I was using Winamp.  Do I still use that?

V4 uses Windows Media Player Visualizations. So what ever you have setup as the Visualization in WMP will be your Vis in V4. So to set the Vis you want, just open WMP and choose the Vis, and then Save/Close WMP and when running V4, that should now be your Vis.

I'm wondering about this as well. I don't really care for any of the viz options in WMP 11, and I'd much prefer to use Milkdrop. I tried to set it up in Winamp, and enabled the option in Freebox, but it's still using the WMP 11 viz. Has this option been confirmed to work in V4? I also recall reading someone having trouble getting it to work on a later version of Winamp. The version I'm trying to use is Winamp 5.53.

At the moment I'm running a single monitor setup, but will eventually be going to a dual-head setup when i have the energy.

Thanks.

To be honest winamp was only put in as a request by McCoy to show milkdrop on a second screen. Someone said there is a version of milkdrop for WMP somewhere but i can't remeber the link. Now we are using WMP you will need to use those visuals... There are others apart from the default ones out there if you look for them. Once you have one you want you need to set it in media player befor launching freebox. Freebox will then use the vis set in WMP.

Fair enough. I'll make due with the WMP offerings.

Thanks.

Why don't you try out G-Force visuals. They are MUCH better than the ones that come with WMP.
